Tutors may be hired to improve grades, but every session teaches something beyond subject knowledge.
Led by Lucy Mebarki, this QT Conversation explores the hidden curriculum of tutoring: the trust, confidence, empathy, resilience and values communicated through the way tutors work. Julia Silver, Alex Iltchev, Mia Frost, Mary-Jane Heckley, Dee Atkins-Greig, Margaret Mary McFadyen and Colin Watts discuss whether mentoring can ever be separated from academic teaching—and how tutors can support the whole student without losing sight of their academic goals.
